Synopsis
A brand new series from the author of the weather warden NOVEL S, WHO'S AS "Swift, sassy, and sexy as Laurell K. Hamilton." (Mary Jo Putney)Once she was Cassiel, a Djinn of limitless power. Now, she has been reshaped in human flesh as punishment for defying her master—and living among the Weather Wardens, whose power she must tap into regularly or she will die. And as she copes with the emotions and frailties of her human condition, a malevolent entity threatens her new existence...
Publishers Weekly
This fast-paced series opener spins off from Caine's Weather Warden series (Gale Force, etc.), with plenty of excitement to draw in new readers. Cassiel, a newly exiled djinn, is perplexed and uncomfortable with mortality. The Wardens find her and place her under the care and supervision of Manny Rocha, an Earth Warden who supplies Cassiel's aetheric and worldly needs. In exchange, she helps him with his cases. Just as she gets acclimated and starts trading smoldering glances with Manny's brother, Luis, Cassiel comes under attack by unknown forces, with deadly consequences for fighting back. Cassiel's struggle with her humanity adds depth while opening doors for more character development as the series progresses, and a cliffhanger ending will keep fans eager for the next installment.

August 21, 2009: The main character is both sexy and tough with a story and characters that are unique. This book comes from an author whose books I had just recently begun reading and of whom I have managed to read most of each series. I must say it was a truly exciting adventure and from the beginning captured my imagination. I enjoyed it very much and highly recommend this book and both Rachel Caine's Weather Warden & Morganville Vampire series'.

July 18, 2009: I am not a fantasy reader, but I thought I'd give this book a chance. I'm glad I did. First of all, the cover intrigued me--a woman on a motorcycle. When I read on the back cover that this woman was foreign to living in the three-dimensional earth plane, and that she had been outcast from a world where she had much more power, I decided to read it. The idea that she had to get power from another human being to keep her strength, made her vulnerable, thus more likable. Yet she had to be careful not to take too much power or she would injure her donor. I was also grateful she was not a vampire; there are too many vampire stories out there already. The only thing I didn't like about the book was that it was a cliffhanger, and the next book in the series hasn't been published yet.
